Description

Interesting big moves on big holds (if you find them and work out positions to use them)

Start up shallow right-facing corner just right of the left big tree. Up that aiming perhaps a bit left of the top crack. Next up to get a hand to reach bottom of the top vertical crack. Finish up the crack and rock on its right side. . . . (? project variation: finish up top crack without using rock on its right side).

Variation: Start on more defined crack a bit left of the left big tree (and a bit right from a 10-foot-high right-facting corner not more than 12-inch deep). Up the crack to its top and up to a wide V-junction rising cracks at bottom of non-featured face. Traverse with hands on right rising crack to get hand to reach bottom of the top vertical crack. Finish up that crack and rock on its right side.

warning: The rock on and near this route has not been climbed much yet, and some of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber or someone setting up top anchor.

. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2018. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).

Location

See two big trees along base of left center of this cliff sector. The left one is about 18-inch-diameter and the right tree about 12-inch diameter. See high vertical crack above a bit right from behind the left big tree. Start up shallow right-facing corner just right of the left big tree.

Protection

For ideas how to set up anchor for Top-Roping, see Description page for this sector Rosenstein.

Protection for trad Leading is unknown and likely inadequate - (especially not good in the lower part).
